I have a recipe for how to make limoncello somewhere. I'm not that big on it either, so I haven't made it yet. But I probably will because a lot of friends and family like it, so it's nice to have around.

Sounds yummy....wish he were coming to my town!

Easy as can be. And since it lives in the freezer, it's there when you need it. Be sure to use 100 proof vodka, or it will freeze solid. This way it gets nice and slushy.

LIMONCELLO

2 Cups 100-proof Vodka, Smirnof Silver
Zest of Five Lemons
2 Cups Water
1 ½ Cups Sugar

Combine Vodka and Lemon Zest in a 1-quart covered glass Jar, let stand at room temperature for 3 days.

Make a simple syrup by heating the Water and Sugar over medium heat, stir until Sugar dissolves.

Stir the syrup into the jar containing the Vodka. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, discard the Lemon Zest. Pour into clean jars, cap tightly and store in the freezer. Serve well chilled in small glasses.

I make my own, too. So much cheaper!

Here is the recipe that I have used. It's very similar to Skeip's.

Limoncello
from BH&G "Italian"

10 large lemons
1 750ml bottle of good vodka
3 c sugar
2-1/2 c water

Scrub lemons well. Using a vegetable peeler, carefully remove enough of the yellow peel to make 2 cups. (Juice lemons and save juice for another use).

In large glass pitcher or bowl, combine the lemon peel and the vodka. Cover tightly and let stand in a cool place for 10 days, gently swirling the mixture in the container ach day. At the end of 10 days, strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve, discard the lemon peel. Return the lemon-infused vodka to the pitcher.

For syrup: In medium saucepan, combibe sugar and water. Bring just to boiling, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cool to room temperature. Pour syrup into infused odka, stir to combine. Cover and chill overnight before serving.

Pour into clean bottles with lids and store in refrigerator up to one month.
